FREE Diabetes Health Screenings at Sam’s Clubs September 8th!

by Nicole on September 6, 2012

On Saturday, September 8th, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Sam’s Club Pharmacy locations will be offering FREE diabetes health screenings, as well as vision tests, to members and the public. The screenings will include glucose tests, A1C tests (blood test for diagnosed diabetics that measures blood sugar), vision tests, blood pressure and BMI tests. According to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, about 1.9 million new cases of diabetes are diagnosed each year, and the disease is the leading cause of new cases of blindness in adults in the U.S. If trends continue, one of three U.S. adults will have diabetes by 2050.

For more information, times and locations of free health screenings in participating Sam’s Club locations, visit SamsClub.com/healthyliving.

I started Nicole's Nickels in February 2009 to bring all of the great deals I was finding to my friends and family and then it took off! Since then I've continued my full-time day job as an attorney while blogging in the evenings and on weekends. Nicole's Nickels has evolved into a site that lets you know about great new products and services! I help my clients during the days at the non-profit I work for and then my Nicole's Nickels readers learn about the best new products for their families! I live in south/central Florida and have 2 cute dogs (see their picture under "mascots") and an amazing husband who has a spunky 6 year old we get to spend a lot of time with. I hope you'll take the time to "like" me on Facebook, follow me on Twitter and/or subscribe to get my daily updates via email to stay in touch!
